The benefits of the DigiShot system are as follows:

More control of vibration, crusher throughput, highwall stability and operational efficiencies are possible with the programmable DigiShot electronic initiation system.

 

Easy-to-use menu-driven software minimizes end-user training time. The hook-up process is quicker because delay timing can be entered ahead of time.

Minimal on-bench components simplify use, just the DigiShot Electronic Detonator in the borehole which easily clips on the 2-wire busline on the surface.

Convenience. Blast patterns and timing can be programmes into the DigiShot blaster in advance, or on the day of the blast, whichever is more convenient.

Automatic or programmable delay timing. Choose easy auto-programming to save the time and reduce errors or the manual programmable mode to accommodate virtually any delay scheme.

Security. The DigiShot blaster is password protected, requires a DigiShot specific Smart Key and used a coded signal to fire the blast.

Some of the major features that make the DigiShot system easy to use and reliable are:

  • No delay Assignment on the Bench. The blaster simply "tells" each detonator its location in the blast. The DigiShot electronic initiation system automatically checks the functionality of the detonator while concurrently assigning the detonator to its location in the pattern.

  • Easy-to-Use Tagger. The DigiShot Tagger is a unique, light-weight, blaster-friendly, hand-held tool used to assign the borehole / DigiShot detonator location with minimal key strokes. The Tagger can be used to test an individual detonator, part of the pattern or the entire installation prior to leaving the bench.

  • Easy-to-Use Blaster. The DigiShot Blaster can program and fire the blast at any point after the desired delay timing is entered. For flexibility, the delay timing can be entered at any time, the day of the blast or any day before. Easy-to-follow screen menus lead the blaster through all delay and firing operations. One DigiShot Blaster can fire up to 300 detonators. For larger shots, additional Blasters can be added.

  • Rugged Reliability. The over-extruded detonator downline and robust connector ensure reliable communication between the DigiShot Electronic Detonator, Blaster and Tagger. All DigiShot components are water resistant, ESD resistance and RF resistant. Cable abrasion and cutting resistance all pass CEN TS13763-27, the European Standards of Compliance for Electronic Detonators.
